iNTROSPECTIVE…

There is a part of me

That feels I am different from everyone else.

Something that I can’t quite see,

Something that I can’t quite feel,

Something so unreal.

But this ‘thing’ is always there,

This ‘thing’ with others, I will never share.

So I push it to the back of my mind,

All the thoughts of boys and clothes

And make-up, it is hiding behind.

Sometimes, when I have almost forgotten,

It comes back with such ferocity,

Angry and unforgiving.

I feel so lost and sad,

Whatever caused this feeling

Must have been so horrible and bad.

A lost memory or something else,

I’ll never know,

Whatever it is,

I know for sure,

I can never let this feeling show.

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered,

Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives,

Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies,

Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow,

Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable,

Be honest and frank anyway.

People favour underdogs, but follow only top dogs,

Fight for some underdogs anyway.

What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight,

Build anyway.

People really need help, but may attack if you help them,

Help them anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and you’ll get kicked in the teeth,

Give the world the best you’ve got…

ANYWAY!!!

I once had a friend. He always said… “Don’t live life by the rules; make your own rules as you live life!” I never actually realized he was giving me a fortune cookie.
As I am living by, I realize… It is the essence of life!!!

I was just browsing some odd pages on the net a few days back when I came across this poem… I couldn’t help but post it here. So, here I go…

Life isn’t just, but life…

Life isn’t about keeping score,
It isn’t about how many friends you have,
Or how accepted you are,
Not about if you have plans this weekend or if you’re alone.

It isn’t about who you are dating, who you used to date,
How many people you have dated,
Or if you have ever been with anyone at all.

It isn’t about who your family is,
Or how much money they have,
Or what kind of car you drive.

It’s not about how beautiful or ugly you are,
Or what clothes you wear,
What shoes you have,
Or what kind of music you listen to.

It’s not about if your hair is blonde, red black or brown,
Or if you skin is too light or too dark,
Not about what grades you get or how smart you are,
How smart everyone else thinks you are,
Or how smart standardized tests say you are.

It’s not about what clubs you’re in or how good you are at “your” sport,
It’s not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper and seeing who will accept the “written you”.

Life just isn’t, the life is…
But…

Life is about who you love and who you hurt,
It’s about who you make happy or unhappy,
It’s abut keeping or betraying trust,
It’s about friendship, used as sanctity or a weapon,
It’s about what you say or mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.

It’s not about what judgments you pass and why,
And who your judgments are spread to,
It’s about who you’ve ignored with full control and intention,
It’s about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge,
It’s about carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow and spreading it.

But most of all, it’s about using your life to touch or poison other people’s hearts in such a way that could have never occurred alone.
Only you choose the way those hearts are affected, and those choices are

“WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT”!!!
